Waltz For Zizi

  1. 1. Would you buy it?



Recommended Posts

Yes. In a heartbeat!

 

The intuition wood is an amazing pen, very well balanced and with a large (#6) nib to die for. For those that like smooth nibs, it is hard to beat GvFC.

 

Not to mention that it is going out of production and the prices are going up like crazy. You cannot get one of these new for less than $470-500 (in fact, my son just bought one at that price that is en route right now. I wish I had the dough to buy another one for me).

 

@Schadenfreude, the Intuition wood is actually a very good pen for long writing sections and it is thicker than the pilot Falcon (in fact, much thicker). I believe you are thinking of the GvFC Classic, which is indeed thinner (but still very comfortable IMO).

 

This is a very eye-opening topic. While the pen is not to my taste, I like reading about it. I enjoy reading the reasons why people like the pen.

I see you have the smaller one also. I'm also planing og getting an ivory one. I personaly find the small nib a little soft, which I quite like. Would you say that the bigger nib is as soft or softer/harder?

Never really noticed soft/hard but did prefer the standard size over the larger size.

I don't have the larger one. I only have a GvFC Classic, which I really like the feel of the nib, more than the feel of my M200/600 Pelikan nibs, though Pelikan is my favourite brand. So I was wondering if the writing experience was the same.

But why do you prefer the smaller one?

Oh yes sorry i didn't notice the difference. I think it's preference, thin barrel gets me in the way of looking at what i write. Maybe because I am left handed. I am still trying to learn a new way to write so i too can use it.

The size and feel and light weight and concave section and balance.

Unfortunately I couldn't buy it, although the seller was about to ship it to me a few days ago, he sold it to someone else, that didn't require it to be shipped. I'm so sad :(

yes for sure

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

I have sweaty hands. Is this a concern with wood pens? Especially with this one that does not have any laquer on it.

 

I don't have particularly dry or sweaty hands, no problems with my Ambition in pearwood.

I voted no. It's not for long time writing. At least for me there is nothing relaxing when writing with thinner barrel, and yet i have small, typical female hands. For the price i would have saved more for something like Pilot Falcon.

 

That's a much thicker pen than the rest of the GvFC line.

 

I REALLY REALLY don't understand why people voted no on this. Worst case scenario you don't like the pen and you can resell it at a pretty significant profit easily.

I think most of the no voters have never used a GvFC. They may look funny but they are spectacular pens.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
